    They've been weeping ever since "Think Different".

    EDIT: Well... "funnest" is actually in the dictionary.

    :confused: :confused: :confused:

    Funnest is a proper word . Its the adjective for 'fun'. An alternative would be Most Fun, but its not a single word

    Sadly, it's true. While I do cringe when I see the word "funnest," it is indeed a word, and has been for a long, long time.

    If that mockup artist is interested in using the same font Apple uses, its Myriad Pro :p. That's what I used on the NBR Apple Core signatures to emulate the look!
